Ames is a college town in Story County, Iowa; it is home to Iowa State University (ISU), located north of Des Moines, in central Iowa. Those living in the local area who are coping with alcohol addiction may be interested in finding AA meetings in Ames. Many people are on a budget (particularly college students). If cost is a concern, you may be pleased to learn that AA meetings in Iowa—such as those in Ames—are free of cost. Member donations support AA groups. A collection plate is usually passed around at meetings AA members can freely donate if they want, but it’s not a requirement. Donations go toward expenses such as renting the meeting room and refreshment costs. Participants can donate a dollar or two (or more), but there is no requirement. There is no cost for AA membership; the only qualification to join is to acknowledge that you have a drinking problem and that you want to quit drinking alcohol. The membership process is simple. When you attend a meeting you like (provided you want to stop drinking), you can consider yourself a member.
